Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Additional Risk Minimization Measures for Ixazomib Citrate for Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma in Japan: A Web-Based Survey Among Pharmacists.
Article in Pharmaceutical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIxazomib citrate (IXA) in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (IRD therapy) has been approved for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. In Japan, as these three drugs have different dosing schedules, dosing instructions for patients have been prepared and distributed to patients via healthcare professionals to promote an understanding of the appropriate dosing regimen, as an additional risk minimization measure (aRMM).
objectivesThis survey aimed to investigate whether the aRMM material is being utilized for the adequate use of IXA.
methodsA web-based questionnaire survey was conducted among in-hospital pharmacists in Japan who instructed patients on IXA dosing for IRD therapy. The primary endpoint was the proportion of pharmacists who provided patients with the contents of the aRMM material (i.e., how to take IXA). The secondary endpoints were the proportion of pharmacists who had obtained the aRMM material and the proportion of pharmacists who understood the importance of explaining how to take IXA to patients.
resultsOf the 330 pharmacists who completed the questionnaire, 93.0% answered that they had explained how to take IXA to patients. Of those who answered that they had explained how to take IXA, 33.2% responded that they had experience in using the aRMM material. In addition, 37.6% of the pharmacists answered that they had obtained the aRMM material. Moreover, 95.8% stated that they knew how to take IXA, and 90.3, 9.1, 0.3, and 0.3% of pharmacists answered that the importance of explaining how to take IXA was "very important," "probably important," "less important" and "not important," respectively.
conclusionsHow to take IXA was explained to patients by pharmacists and the aRMM material was utilized at the time of the explanation, indicating that the aRMM material contributes to the promotion of the appropriate use of IXA.
